9:18 am

9:19 am
precise dimensions of an individual's heart and have strategies in advance before the patient enters the operating room. >> we can have different tools that deliver new valves and devices to other parts of the heart. there are all different approaches we'll see an explosion of in the future. >> reporter: carolyn johnson, abc 7 news. take a look, this is a big treat for astronomy buffs. it is a shot of the super moon taken early this morning from our camera in emeryville. now, though you may not be able to tell from the fog, this is the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. 14% larger, 30% brighter than an average full moon of the the super moon reached parogy this morning. that's when part of its orbit is closest to earth. i did not see it. you saw it? >> i saw it, with the haze of some light clouds. it was very pretty. and we are looking at more clouds around for everyone this
9:20 am
morning. in fact rain is not far off for our friends up in the north bay and that is where the rain is going to focus the next several days. we have not only several days of rain, three little systems moving through. the second should be the largest and we are looking at not everyone to see the rain. the rain will be focused up in the north bay. here's a look at live doppler 7 hd, and the moisture here will continue to sag to the south getting pretty much hung up in the north bay and sort of breaking apart as it goes to the bay area throughout the rest of the day. so we'll be cloudy for most, a few breaks and peeks of sun, but as this system pushes on through, we've got a stronger one headed our way for midday tomorrow. here's a look at san jose with mostly cloudy conditions. 55 half moon bay with lots of fog. airport delays and a mild 64 down in the south bay. mid-60s in mountain view with 55 in san francisco. and from our roof camera, very still. we're not looking at a lot of wind here, but there is plenty of wind in the higher elevations
9:21 am
with wind gusts up to 30 and 40 miles an hour. 62 santa rosa as well as napa with livermore in the low 60s. you won't see any rain today or los gatos at 63, but perhaps just a trace amount for the south bay tomorrow. look at all of the fog out there, hard to make out the view from mt. tam. mostly cloudy. looking at cooler conditions for everyone today and a chance of rain faimainly in the mountainsd up in the north bay so that lift is going to help us squeeze out that moisture. because of that rain shadow effect in the east bay and south bay, we're not likely to see much rain at all in the east bay or the santa clara valley, but the best chance comes in late tomorrow into tomorrow evening. so that's the evening commute. wind gusts to 31 miles an hour right now. napa 22-mile-an-hour gusts. one, two, three right here allowing for a rare summer june
9:22 am
rain event. so we'll start with the timing. noon time, point reyes, sonoma county and perhaps marin county, chance of showers. throughout the afternoon, down along the san mateo coast, even the santa cruz mountains. here we are 8:00 tonight but notice the cloud cover and not a whole lot of activity. the next system really scaling back on the timing, so here we are 6:00. your monday morning commute just some light showers. santa cruz, perhaps down around monterey in the higher elevation, but look what happens in the afternoon. still cloudy, still light showers. it's the evening commute that we see this rain, the heaviest in the north bay. a little bit in the east bay lesser amounts and this is where you get your chance in the south bay. weak system, another weak wave coming through tuesday. and then by the afternoon, still some showers in the north bay. it's 11:00, we finally clear out, and we're talking hot weather and strong high pressure
9:23 am
by midweek. so really a tale of two very different forecasts from the first half and the second half of the week. 1 to 2 inches in the north bay through tuesday night. quarter of an inch to three-quarters of an inch around most of the bay but i think part of the east bay won't see anything at all. liver moermore and south bay tr amounts. so really if we've got -- if we have the mountains, that's providing the lift that we need for the shower activity. so today 60s and 70s around the bay with most of the activity throughout the afternoon in the north bay. upper 60s in oakland, 71 for palo alto. a look ahead then, we're looking at the rain showers scattered and light, maybe just a couple hundredths today. leftover showers on tuesday, 60s and 70s both days and then we're looking at big changes on wednesday with a big warmup throughout the rest of the week. follow live doppler 7 hd on twitter for the very latest bay
9:24 am
area weather conditions rain or shine, and get video forks, spare the air alerts, power outage information and weather tweets. so we're looking at an active tomorrow later. >> it seems like we gained a system there between now and our earlier show. >> just to keep it going, sure. >> just to make it confusing. thanks, lisa. up next, a rock star revelati revelation. the co

9:30 am
welcome back, everyone. we're starting this half hour with a quick look at the weather. here's our meteorologist lisa argen. >> hey, carolyn. starting out cloudy for most and we do have a lot of moisture offshore. there it is, it looks like much of the north bay is going to be the recipients of the best amount of rain. but even the coastal hills will see more showers. so we're going to look at rain around sea ranch and point reyes. it does shift to the east and south but also falls apart. so what you're seeing over the bay area not reaching the ground. we will look for cooler temperatures for everyone with all the cloud cover, breezy winds. this morning it's 55 in san francisco. elsewhere in the 60s. 60s and low 70s, maybe a few upper 70s in our east bay. still a lot of clouds around and some very light showers today. more rain, heavier rain

9:32 am
suffered those minor burns when he escaped the burning house. he was also too distraught to talk with us. he grew up in this home. his parents, who own it, are actually out of town on the east coast right now. he woke up to the smell of smoke. he discovered the fire was only burning in the garage. he got out with his fiancee and their son and neighbor who shares a backyard fence from this home tells me what he witnessed. >> weird noises. kind of like little explosions probably. like echoing off the side of the windows of the house. it sounded like someone was banging on the windows a little bit. >> the male occupant went and checked the garage, saw the garage was on fire. yelled for everyone to get out of the house. as they exited the house, the entire house went up. >> reporter: so the investigation will focus on that garage. the fire department is looking into whether there was anything in there that would have sparked the fire. and it's interesting to note this home did have working smoke detectors, but because the fire at the time had been contained
9:33 am
only to the garage, it had not spread into the home where those smoke detectors were. they were not triggered, so they did not go off. the captain of the fire department tells me had the family not woken up to the smell of smoke, this would have turned out much differently. reporting live in san jose, kira klapper, abc 7 news. >> thank you, kira. there is a fierce battle being fought this weekend in colorado. a dramatic stand against wildfires spreading all over that state, forcing evacuations, including the tiny town of south fork. south fork has served as a backdrop for movies like national lampoon's "vacation" and "the lone ranger." clayton sandell has more. >> reporter: firefighters called in maureen forcements from the u.s. military. they will swoop into colorado's smoky skies. the planes churn out 3,000 gallons of water or fire

9:47 am
welcome back, everyone. it is 9:47 on this sunday morning. thank you for spending part of your day with us here at the abc 7 sunday morning news. we have a live look right now from our san jose camera. it's cloudy there, just like lots of other places. about 54 degrees, reaching a high of 74. going to stay cloudy most of the day, so says my partner in crime, ms. argen, who's here now. i asked you about rain for san jose and you said not so much. >> not likely. maybe trace amounts tomorrow. the best rain comes in tomorrow and tomorrow evening. that's when we'll see steady rain, but not everywhere. as we take a live look at doppler radar hd we have to sort it out because there's not only
9:48 am
one system, there's actually three, but not everyone will see the rain. over the bay area it looks green, it is green but it's not all making it to the ground. in fact this is the area that will get the north bay wet. the coastal hills within the next hour, even some mist and drizzle right now along the coast. the thing is there's plenty of moisture out in the pacific but it's not all going to make it, be transported. we don't have the dynamics for the east bay, the south bay, so it really depends where you're located. look at the golden gate bridge, though. tons of fog, airport delays. it is cool, just in the 50s downtown with upper 50s in oakland. you have fog as well. along the coast we have poor visibility, half moon bay. 64 in mountain view. you don't see any wind but higher elevations have wind gusts up to 40, 35, 40 mir. mid-60s fairfield and you'll see numbers come up another ten
9:49 am
degrees or so. much cooler than yesterday. we're looking at mt. tam where just an hour ago you couldn't even see it. a lot of wind and some of it blowing right now. conditions really changing with the elevation and closest to the hills and the coast. so mostly cloudy this morning. cooler, chance of showers mainly north and along the coastal hills, down along through the santa cruz mountains through the evening hours and rain likely tomorrow, but not everyone is going to see it. so here's a look, here's the first system, the weak one, that will bring just nuisance rain showers. we're talking a couple hundredths of an inch. the second looks to be the strongest and the third keeps things going. look at the shower chances up in the north bay but through the afternoon weebl could see a fewp up. so the higher elevations. but the bulk of the day will remain mostly cloudy and then into the overnight hours, a few light showers. your monday morning commute doesn't look too wet. even into the afternoon the

light showers. it's the steadier rain that comes in for the evening commute tomorrow through the evening hours. so by 10:00 we have our best chance of rain where we could see the heaviest, the steadiest rain up in the north bay. so if you have any construction going on or things you want to cover up, you should see the heavier rain and the continuous shower activity through monday. and then tuesday, though, another little impulse will keep the energy, the showers going through the morning hours and even a slight chance in the afternoon and then big change as high pressure and hot weather is headed our way. we're talking 1 to 2 inches north bay. quarter of an inch to three-quarters in parts of the east bay. maybe a tenth in san jose. really the mountains could see about an inch. up in sonoma, a lot different than yesterday with 60s, maybe a sprinkle, breezy winds for the raceway. back home we're talking light showers mainly north, higher elevations. upper 60s oakland, 71 in palo

alto. and the game, yeah, it will be cloudy, breezy with 60s all around, should be dry. we'll look for the rain, chance of it best in the hills in the north bay through tuesday, 80s, 90s, could even see triple digits this time next week. >> my goodness. so leave the car out if you want a free car wash. thank you, lisa. let's check out sports. you mentioned at noon today nascar's 25th toyota savemart 350 starts at the sonoma raceway. jamie mcmurray won the pole yesterday. the a's will try to regain sole possession of the american league west lead after dropping three of their last four including last night's game in seattle. here's schu with the highlights in this morning's sports. >> the mariners always seem to give the a's trouble in seattle. they're 11 1/2 games back of oakland in the american league west but once again gave oakland fits. the a's well represented at
